X‐ray photoemission spectroscopy is utilised to determine the variation in surface Fermi level pinning across the composition range of n‐ and p‐type c ‐plane In x Ga 1– x N alloys. The pinning relative to the charge neutrality level is used to explain a change in band bending direction causing a transition from surface electron accumulation (In‐rich) to depletion (Ga‐rich) at x ≈ 0.43 for n‐type alloys and a transition from surface inversion to hole depletion at x ≈ 0.59 for p‐type alloys where downward band bending occurs across the composition range.
